Recently the Birmingham Mail revealed footage from HMP Featherstone in Staffordshire of a ‘fight club’-style brawl.

The footage shows a crowd of around 20 convicts baying for blood as the fighters trade blows, shouting “finish him” while the beaten man lies helpless on the ground.

The Birmingham Mail also reports another video shot inside a jail using mobile phones - banned in British prisons - showed Birmingham DJ Malachi “Madman” Halstead in the shameless singalong, who was jailed in March 2015 for a sickening attack on his then girlfriend.

Other illegal footage also emerged following the huge riots at Winson Green prison in December - which saw prisoners steal keys, steal riot gear and gain control of a wing for several hours.

Prisoners posted footage of a fire in the jail, which showed smoke billowing from the prison yard.

The Ministry of Justice, which runs HMP Hewell, said it was unable to confirm whether the footage was shot at the prison, but were working to verify the claims.
